Water leaks often occur in areas that are hard to see right away, behind appliances or in areas of your home that may not be used often. Undetected water leaks can end up causing thousands of dollars in damage. Protect your home from potential water damage by keeping a Smarthome SELECT Water Leak Detection Alarm anywhere flooding is a potential danger - near the refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, toilet, sink, or water heater. For added peace of mind, consider using one near aquariums, sump pumps, or in the basement and garage. When the unit detects water, it sounds a loud alarm so you'll know instantly when and where the excess water is. The small size and wireless, battery-powered design allow it to fit in tight spaces and anywhere water could possibly leak and collect in your home.

Place the Smarthome SELECT Water Leak Detection Alarm flat or upright, so it can fit easily and discreetly in almost all locations. When water is detected by the metal sensors, the 95db alarm will sound for up to 72 hours.

The alarm will also sound and the LED light will be activated when the battery gets low. Battery life when in constant alarm mode is three days. Under regular use the battery life is over one year, however annual battery checks are recommended.

Smarthome recommends placing at least one Water Leak Detection Alarm in every bathroom, in the kitchen, by your water heater and close to your washing machine.

I ordered 3, one for under the dishwasher, one for the washing machine and one for the hot water heater. One did not work. I even exchanged the battery from a working one and it still didn't work. Placed the nonworking alarms battery in a working alarm. That battery was dead. Haven't contacted company on return yet. Too much on the plate to worry about $20. Just disappointed

It's a great device! Wish I would have had it before my dishwasher reined my hardwood floors!

Batteries lasted about 2 weeks before the alarms started beeping. Hopefully it was because the batteries were old/bad and not because they were drained so rapidly

It works as expected, but if water drips on top of it then may go through the speaker holes and may damage the unit. I have not tested for that, it also should have an indicator on which side/s to pry it open for battery replacement.

A good inexpensive product; however, it does have 1 design flaw.
When the battery needs to be replaced the unit alarms continuously exactly the same way as if it has detected a leak. Typically, battery operated units will chirp when the battery needs to be replaced, not this device!
This may not seem like that big of an issue... but... when it happens at 3am, which it will, it is!

Excellent product.
Works as advertised.
A "must" for those looking to avoid major flood damage from leaks.
